Conceived as a working, support and promotion laboratory dedicated to independent film, animation and video art projects, FILM+ is the first program in Central and Eastern Europe, held annually, which brings together resources and expertise within a regional collaboration platform, designed to offer professional support to young filmmakers. The program has a practical approach, focused on the development, making and promotion of microbudget audiovisual productions of young graduates or self-taught artists from Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Moldova and, starting this year, from Ukraine, using the experience of established professionals in Romanian and International cinema.
In the six previous editions held so far, FILM+ has supported the development of 85 projects and offered the young filmmakers the opportunity to participate in residencies, workshops and masterclasses given by renowned filmmakers and specialists such as Alexander Nanau, Andrei Ujică, Ada Solomon, Corneliu Porumboiu, Elma Tataragic, Maša Marković, Monica Lăzurean-Gorgan, Radu Jude, Radu Muntean, Ralitza Petrova, Paul Tyler, Selin Karli, Srdan Golubović, Olga Lamontanara, Amra Bakšić Čamo and other personalities from the film industry.
The FILM+ program was founded in 2016 by a team of Romanian film professionals, consisting of the director of photography Ana Drăghici, the producer Anamaria Antoci, the director Paul Negoescu and Alex Trăilă, a consultant in cinematography and audiovisual with the sole purpose of providing resources and expertise on a collaboration platform which supports filmmakers.
Film+ is implemented by the Graphis 122 Association, together with partners and specialists involved in the mentoring program.
The seventh edition of Film+ is co-funded by the European Commission's Creative Europe - MEDIA programme* and the National Center of Cinematography.
